Fox News legal analyst Andrew Napolitano on Wednesday threw cold water on the idea that White House adviser Jared Kushner could develop a national “surveillance” system to track the coronavirus.

According to Politico, the system would “give the government a near real-time view of where patients are seeking treatment and for what, and whether hospitals can accommodate them.”

Napolitano said that Kushner’s proposal “terrifies those of us who believe the Constitution and believes what it says.”

“The Fourth Amendment says no government can surveil you without a search warrant!” Napolitano exclaimed. “They can’t engage in mass surveillance, whether it’s for your safety or health or just for their lurid desires of knowing where everybody is.”

“The Constitution still applies in good times and in bad,” he later added.

My guess, he wants to know who survived the coronavirus so they can kidnap them, sedate them and pump them for plasma to make a vaccine.

That's my version of this Stephen King nightmare.

But it does track and recognize individuals. And there is no good reason for that.

doing here what Taiwan did.

Access personal health information. Track those who are suspect. Use media. Use GPS. "Whatever it takes."

In calling that blatantly anti-Constitutional, he's implicitly saying that everybody who said, "Look at Taiwan--why can't be like them?" was calling for something blatantly anti-Constitutional.
